Solid-state bioreactor design for laboratory-scale landfill studies

摘要

This study investigates the use of in situ solid state landfill bioreactor design with leachate recirculationto biologically treat municipal solid waste at varying scales, including columns, laboratory bins and, eventually, pilot test cells. The objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficacy of sewage sludge co-disposal in anaerobic landfill bioreactors and to devleop a bench-scale protocol to aid in the design and scale-up of landfill bioreactors. During the preliminary microbial acclimation phase described in this paper. temperatures range from 23.79 deg to 28.87 deg in the bench-scale bioreactor systems.
